A member asked:
Can i get hsv1 by kissing someone with my mouth closed? can i catch it from drinking after someone? what about sharing toothbrushes?

Likely: The chances of you contracting hsv are most likely if that person was having a flare-up, but the chances go down if they were not broken out. Best advice is to be careful and kindly refuse affection during flare-ups.
